I've seen these commercials and the soundtracks sound like uh...sound-a-likes, to me. i.e. take the familiar riff sans vocals, record it in the same style (fuzzy, indie blues-rock) but change two or three notes to keep it legal.

Years ago Tom Waits won a suit against an advertiser for using a sound-a-like on vocals claiming they were besmirching his good name and artistic integrity by suggesting he'd sell some random crap for money.

The Moody Blues, the venerated and beloved English rock band that many folks belive deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are coming to Akron's E.J. Thomas Hall on the campus of the University of Akron on December 3.
